### Describe Your Changes
Christmas is early and you get the first present in the shape of
spelling fixes.
Sorry for the big amount :)
### Checklist
- [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing
guidelines](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/).
This commit adds `metric_relabel_configs` and `relabel_configs` fields
into the `global` section of scrape configuration file.
New fields are used as global relabeling rules for the scrape targets.
These relabel configs are prepended to the target relabel configs.
This feature is useful to:
* apply global rules to __meta labels from service discovery targets.
* drop noisy labels during scrapping.
* mutate labels without affecting metrics ingested via any of push
protocols.

### Describe Your Changes
Currently, vmagent always uses a separate `http.Client` for every group
watcher in Kubernetes SD. With a high number of group watchers this
leads to large amount of opened connections.
This PR adds 2 changes to address this:
- re-use of existing `http.Client` - in case `http.Client` is connecting
to the same API server and uses the same parameters it will be re-used
between group watchers
- HTTP2 support - this allows to reuse connections more efficiently due
to ability of using streaming via existing connections.
See this issue for the details and test results -

Current doc is using per-url deduplication, and users might use this example
when they have more than 1 remoteWrite URL. Which would result into extra resource usage.
Changing the example to use global dedup, as it makes more sense.

## Describe Your Changes
Add RemoteWrite Retry Controls
This PR introduces two new flags to the remote write functionality:
- remoteWrite.retryMinInterval
- remoteWrite.retryMaxTime
These flags provide finer control over the retry behavior for
remoteWrite operations, allowing users to customize the minimum interval
between retries and the maximum duration for retry attempts.
Fixes#5486.

### Describe Your Changes
Improve documentation to help:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6670
Currently, the documentation of Kafka Integration did not describe:
- How to switch between different remote write protocols in producer
side and consumer side.
- Drop samples and return true from remotewrite.TryPush() at fast path when all the remote storage
systems are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, every in-memory queue is full
and -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload is set to true. This case is quite common,
so it should be optimized. Previously additional CPU time was spent on per-remoteWriteCtx
relabeling and other processing in this case.
- Properly count the number of dropped samples inside remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped().
Previously dropped samples were counted only if -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag is set.
In reality, the samples are dropped when they couldn't be sent to the queue because in-memory queue is full
and on-disk queue is disabled.
The remoteWriteCtx.pushInternalTrackDropped() function is called by streaming aggregation for pushing
the aggregated data to the remote storage. Streaming aggregation cannot wait until the remote storage
processes pending data, so it drops aggregated samples in this case.
- Clarify the description for -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag at -help output,
so it is clear that this flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.
- Make the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload flag global. If some of the remote storage systems
are configured with the disabled on-disk queue, then there is no sense in keeping samples
on some of these systems, while dropping samples on the remaining systems, since this
will result in global stall on the remote storage system with the disabled on-disk queue
and with the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload=false flag. vmagent will always return false
from remotewrite.TryPush() in this case. This will result in infinite duplicate samples
written to the remaining remote storage systems. That's why the -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload
is forcibly set to true if more than one -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag is set.
This allows proceeding with newly scraped / pushed samples by sending them to the remaining
remote storage systems, while dropping them on overloaded systems with the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue flag set.
- Verify that the remoteWriteCtx.TryPush() returns true in the TestRemoteWriteContext_TryPush_ImmutableTimeseries test.
- Mention in vmagent docs that the -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue command-line flag can be set individually per each -remoteWrite.url.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6248
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6065
Reason for revert:
There are many statsd servers exist:
- https://github.com/statsd/statsd - classical statsd server
- https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/ - statsd server from DataDog built into DatDog Agent ( https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/ )
- https://github.com/avito-tech/bioyino - high-performance statsd server
- https://github.com/atlassian/gostatsd - statsd server in Go
- https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter - statsd server, which exposes the aggregated data as Prometheus metrics
These servers can be used for efficient aggregating of statsd data and sending it to VictoriaMetrics
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-send-data-from-graphite-compatible-agents-such-as-statsd (
the https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter can be scraped as usual Prometheus target
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-scrape-prometheus-exporters-such-as-node-exporter ).
Adding support for statsd data ingestion protocol into VictoriaMetrics makes sense only if it provides
significant advantages over the existing statsd servers, while has no significant drawbacks comparing
to existing statsd servers.
The main advantage of statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics and vmagent - getting rid of additional statsd server.
The main drawback is non-trivial and inconvenient streaming aggregation configs, which must be used for the ingested statsd metrics (
see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/ ). These configs are incompatible with the configs for standalone statsd servers.
So you need to manually translate configs of the used statsd server to stream aggregation configs when migrating
from standalone statsd server to statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics (or vmagent).
Another important drawback is that it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using built-in statsd server
with the -statsd.disableAggregationEnforcement command-line flag or with improperly configured streaming aggregation.
In this case the ingested statsd metrics will be stored to VictoriaMetrics as is without any aggregation.
This may result in high CPU usage during data ingestion, high disk space usage for storing all the unaggregated
statsd metrics and high CPU usage during querying, since all the unaggregated metrics must be read, unpacked and processed
during querying.
P.S. Built-in statsd server can be added to VictoriaMetrics and vmagent after figuring out more ergonomic
specialized configuration for aggregating of statsd metrics. The main requirements for this configuration:
- easy to write, read and update (ideally it should work out of the box for most cases without additional configuration)
- hard to misconfigure (e.g. hard to shoot yourself in the foot)
It would be great if this configuration will be compatible with the configuration of the most widely used statsd server.
In the mean time it is recommended continue using external statsd server.

* adds datadog extensions for statsd:
- multiple packed values (v1.1)
- additional types distribution, histogram
* adds type check and append metric type to the labels with special tag
name `__statsd_metric_type__`. It simplifies streaming aggregation
config.

* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html):
allow configuring `-remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue` and
`-remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload` cmd-line flags per each
`-remoteWrite.url`. See this [pull
request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6065).
Thanks to @rbizos for implementaion!
* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add
labels `path` and `url` to metrics
`vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total` and
`vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total`. Now number of failed pushes
and dropped samples can be tracked per `-remoteWrite.url`.

Using `sh` or `console` formatting doesn't do word-breaking on render. This makes flags description
harder to read, as users need to scroll the web page horizontally.
Removing the formatting renders the description with normal word-breaking.
